15 cm 5 mm\text{15 cm 5 mm}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To solve 232 cm 5 mm÷15232 \text{ cm } 5 \text{ mm} \div 15, we will divide the centimeters and millimeters.

  1. Divide the centimeters by 15.

    232 cm÷15232 \text{ cm} \div 15 232÷15=15 with a remainder232 \div 15 = 15 \text{ with a remainder}

    To find the remainder: 15×15=22515 \times 15 = 225.

    232−225=7 cm remainder232 - 225 = 7 \text{ cm remainder}

    So, we have 15 cm15 \text{ cm} and 7 cm7 \text{ cm} remaining.

  2. Convert the remaining centimeters to millimeters and add to the existing millimeters.

    Since 1 cm=10 mm1 \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ mm}, then 7 cm=7×10 mm=70 mm7 \text{ cm} = 7 \times 10 \text{ mm} = 70 \text{ mm}.
    Add this to the original 5 mm5 \text{ mm}:

    70 mm+5 mm=75 mm70 \text{ mm} + 5 \text{ mm} = 75 \text{ mm}
  3. Divide the total millimeters by 15.

    75 mm÷15=5 mm75 \text{ mm} \div 15 = 5 \text{ mm}
  4. Combine the results.

    The length of each piece is the sum of the divided centimeters and millimeters.

    15 cm+5 mm=15 cm 5 mm15 \text{ cm} + 5 \text{ mm} = 15 \text{ cm } 5 \text{ mm}

    The length of each piece is 15 cm 5 mm\text{15 cm 5 mm}.
